TOP SAFETY ACCREDITATIONS AWARDED

Richmond Home Improvement Co, Dorset's leading replacement window and door installers have been awarded three accreditations from leading SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) quality standards organisations. Working closely with Malcolm Pitcher of MSP Business Services, Richmond has received accreditation from Safecontractor, Constructionline and CHAS for its commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety.

Malcolm said: “Making any of these applications can be a daunting task to the uninitiated! 
“We have been working with Richmond on Health & Safety for the past two years and to achieve these accreditations really is the icing on the cake.  Together we worked through the whole process from start to finish, first establishing exactly what was required before submitting the application with the criteria to be assessed.  
He added, “They are all esteemed organisations; Safecontractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.  
“Constructionline provides an up-to-date register of pre-qualified suppliers for construction contracts and is accessed by 8,000 buyers from over 2,000 organisations. They pre-qualify all of their suppliers to government standards and maintain relationships with a range of industry, e-purchasing and government partners to ensure that they remain relevant to procurement professionals within the construction industry.
“CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It is available to suppliers and organisations looking for suitably competent suppliers, so all three organisations have very stringent criteria to be met.  The fact that Richmond sailed through so easily on their first application demonstrates Richmond’s already established commitment to their clients.” He said.
Allan Tofield, MD of Richmond said: “Richmond’s applications for these endorsements were driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. They will enhance the company’s ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by clients, staff and our insurers.
He added, “We are already members of quality standard organisations such as FENSA and are indebted to MSP Business Services for their expert help and advice to enable us to achieve these latest awards.”
Richmond has been run by Allan Tofield since January 1999 and is now a well established and respected company, taking the safety of both staff and clients very seriously with a comprehensive Health & Safety policy in place.  They are also licensed by the Environment Agency and all waste is disposed of responsibly.
